The Helper’s Dilemma In Today’s Professional World
When The Guidelines Become The Barrier To Helping Real People
Written by a human, for humans, always.
So many people in today’s world need help…
And there are many different types of organizations that have come into existence to provide that help.
Often, these organizations begin to form into professional groups…
Providing best practices…
Assistance…
Guidelines…
And more.
Now, these are not inherently bad things.
In many cases, they actually can be very valuable and help others.
But there is something that I have noticed more and more frequently…
Many professionals in different fields…
Such as therapists and allopathic doctors…
Are discovering a new problem.
The guidelines that have been created by their organizations…
Actually become barriers to providing the help that people need.
The result…
Professionals “know” what is needed to help…
But they are not able to “do” anything about it…
In some cases, “legally,” they are unable.
This becomes the Helper’s Dilemma.
Knowing what is needed…
But being prevented from providing it in any way, shape, or form…
At risk of their own future.
I was recently reading a story from a therapist who was unable to help a client because of this.
Many people have been leaving the allopathic medical model for this reason.
In my own work, I have actually elected “not” to join certain well-recognized organizations “because” of this dilemma…
Even if membership in those organizations could provide opportunities.
It poses an interesting question…
When are these types of governing bodies helpful?
Where should the extent of their governing be limited?
What is the helper to do when they know there are better ways, but the organizations they belong to legally will not allow them to use those methods?
When does it become a better move to leave an organization, despite the potential career challenges it could cause?
Or is it better to remain within the boundaries and hope that the individuals you are trying to help will be able to find what they need?
Where do we draw the boundary lines between what help is provided and how we can maintain safety?
I am not saying that we should just burn the institutions down…
Often, there are good reasons for them to exist…
And certain boundaries which are reasonable and “should” be maintained.
But when does it go too far?
How are we to prevent these organizations from going too far?
What can be done to actually, either directly or indirectly, make sure people get the real help they need?
Importantly…
How do you make sure that you do what is best for your own ability to help others?
These are difficult questions…
Sometimes, without good answers with clear paths forward.
There are people who have left these types of professional organizations…
And it ruined the rest of their careers because of it.
There are people who have tried to fight these organizations…
With the hope to change them…
And it cost them their life savings, and they ended up not being able to create a dent of change.
There are people who refused to join these organizations…
And were never given opportunities because of it.
There are people who have discovered and created better paths…
Who were slandered against, and that prevented them from actually helping others.
Where is the line?
The truth is…
I cannot give you an answer that is right or wrong.
Sometimes…
The best option is not to provide answers…
But to push people to ask the right questions.
Sometimes…
There are paths we will take in light of these questions…
Which may not end how we hoped…
But it does not necessarily mean we were wrong in taking those paths.
Sometimes…
There are circumstances that we need to seriously consider…
Which may push us in specific directions that we feel we cannot deviate from.
I pose these questions today…
To get you to consider the real heart of what is at stake…
The people we are supposed to be helping.
What happens to them?
Are we right to do what is currently in our power?
Or should we seek to become better able to provide the help that is needed?
